Lamborghini Gallardo Successor Spotted

The Lamborghini Gallardo has been on the market for 10 years and the successor has been spotted by a keen-eyed YouTuber.

Small-time YouTube celebrity Marchettino, known for his supercar videos, spotted the he Lamborghini Gallardo successor out and about on the streets, mostly undisguised, and was lucky enough to snap a few pictures. The word is that the new car wil début at the Frankfurt Motor Show in September, under the Cabrera name. The new car is expected to ride on the second generation platform of the Audi R8, complete with a composite aluminum and carbon fiber construction to cut weight as much as possible. How light will the Cabrera be? Lamborghini is reportedly shooting for a curb weight of around 1490kg.

Power will is predicted to be from a massaged version of the 5.2-liter V10 in the current Gallardo. Expect around 447 kW (600hp) and 542 Nm (400lb/ft) of torque.

The vehicle in these photos looks to have abandoned some of the Gallardo’s angles in favor or more organic lines, though it’s possible body cladding is hiding the car’s true design. Murcielago SV-style sills and side air intakes serve up a bit of aggression and the quad exhaust looks properly menacing as well. We can’t wait to see the finished product. Can’t you?
